Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London expressed remorse following a verbal spat with a fan during Sunday's 34-3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers.
"I'm going to be honest here, I don't take light to disrespect at all," London said after the broadcast caught him jawing at someone in the crowd, according to ESPN's Marc Raimondi.
"I don't care who you are. I'm a man, too, at the end of the day. So, if you want to get on a personal level, I can get there, too, but it's not the right thing to do. So, I got to take accountability for that, and I got to push forward and be the bigger man in some of those situations."

The Falcons' receiver added that frustration over the lopsided score contributed to his outburst.
"With how the game was going and what was said to me, I don't like it," London said.
Atlanta has scored only one touchdown and 16 points during its miserable 0-2 start. However, injuries to Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa have forced the Falcons to play their third-string and fourth-string quarterbacks. Cooper Rush has been the starter, but he was benched for Jack Strand during Sunday's loss.
"We're all in the league for a reason, right? We're all good football players. I don't care if you're fourth string or you're the starter," London said.
